In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsBhautikī (भौतिकी) is a synonym for Mumukṣu (“seeker of supernatural powers and enjoyments”), according to the Mṛgendrāgama.—Another early source which distinguishes between the śivadharmiṇī and lokadharmiṇī-dīkṣā is the Mṛgendra-āgama, which was composed after the Svacchanda-tantra. This scripture maintains the same basic set of categories and organization of initiatory groups, even though it uses slightly different terminology. Thus, instead of referring to initiations for the mumukṣu and the bubhukṣu, the Mṛgendra uses the terms naiṣṭhikī and bhautikī, the former of which is divided into the sāpekṣā and nirapekṣā, corresponding to the sabījā/nirbījā distinction, and the latter again into śivadharmiṇī and lokadharmiṇī.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
